It may have escaped the notice of the splendid rugger chaps who write for the AFR, but Melbourne Storm won the Rugby League World Club Challenge against champion Super League side Leeds last weekend. While I acknowledge the expertise of John Eales, and his column makes enjoyable reading, perhaps the editorial team could reflect on the popularity of the codes and at least acknowledge the magnitude of Melbourne Storm’s efforts in the north of England and in winter conditions favouring the home side.
